What does your pond look like ... Today?

My bog today...

My pond today... 40-something lily pads now! was 20-something last week, and 4 two weeks ago.

My wildflower area today... love the Coreopsis 'mardi gras' flower, cant wait until the other buds open. I also have Mexican Sunflower 'Torch' (right) and Blanket Flower 'Goblin' (bottom). and I'm planning to add Dianthus 'Arctic Fire' eventually.

Nice pix again JB and boy you have a tons of pads coming! No buds yet tho huh? All I have is a few pads and no buds. Pretty Coreopsis. I have some too but mine I think is just a plain yellow I believe..........hasn't started to bloom this year yet.

Yes, I found three buds yesterday. Can't wait until the hi the surface and open!

I would definitely recommend Coreopsis Mardi Gras! I guess I like flowers with two colors, since Blanket Flower Goblin and Dianthus Arctic Fire also have two colors.

Day Lilly's are starting to bloom in the bog, not on land yet

Fishy's are happy

Mostly cloudy here today but the sun peeked out a couple times for these shots. See if you can spot the two underwater lights visible in the second pic. They're some of those fake polymer rock lights - small spotlight fixtures embedded in a synthetic weighted river cobble. They really blend well with the real stones.

Love love love your set up Red really looks great!

Looks beautiful and I think I can only find the one light down towards the right near the edge of the pond. They do blend in quite nicely.

I think I see both, one near the edge of the pond and one in the waterfall itself. Both tucked into the right corners looking at the picture

Good thing the stone mason could find the fake rocks

Every time I see your waterfall I am very impressed. Very nice design
